These are commonly referred to as C classOrder a third-party property inspectionMake sure the property has been rehabbed to turnkey quality that will maximize your cash flow (roof and HVAC updated, ceramic tile it kitchen and bath, vinyl plank hardwood in high traffics areas, durable carpet installed in bedrooms, external fences and buildings addressed during the rehab, supply hoses replaced under the sinks, etc) otherwise your cash flow will go to maintenanceBe skeptical of the one-year tenant warranty, that just means the turnkey provider is making a abnormally large profit who uses gimmick marketing to secure investorsVerify rent range through other property managers, Craig's list and ZillowAsk if permits were pulled during the rehabIf a tenant is in place, ask to see the tenant fileRemember, you can fix the house, you can fix the tenant, you can fix the property manager, but you can't fix the area.
